How to deploy RPD and catalog without Enterprise manger

Many times the obiee service goes off because of deployment of inconsistent RPD and to make the services up we need to deploy the previous RPD.

To achieve this we change the name of RPD and Catalog in NQSConfig.ini and Instanvceconfig.xml file respectively just similar to obiee 10g RPD and catalog deployment method. But in obiee11g if we change in NQSConfig.ini and Instanceconfig.xml file and restarted the services the obiee 11g revert back the changes whatever we did manually. 


Actually there is Central configuration enable by default in obiee11g which allows us to update the configuration with interface. So to disable the central configuration and deploy the RPD and catalog with obiee10g fashion follow the following steps

1) Edit the biee-doamin.xml file from locationORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\fmwconfigand edit the “centralConfigurationEnabled” tag as shown below











2) Change the RPD name in of RPD in NQSConfig.ini file .The NQSConfig.ini file is located atORACLE_HOME\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1












3) Change the catalog detail in instanceconfig.xml file.File is located at location atORACLE_HOME\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1








4) Restart all services, now you can see the changes whatever we did in NQSConfid.ini and instanceconfig.xml file are as per our requirement now.
